Fresh off a new national high school record, Shelby Ashe (St. Pius X, Atlanta, GA) had to settle for second place at New Balance Nationals. Unfortunately, she ran into foul trouble and was unable to match her amazing throw from last week. But, the competition was still a great one for the Throw1Deep throwers club. Junior Daina Levy (Kennesaw Mountain, Kennesaw, GA) won the competition and the team swept the top four spots on the girl's side.

On the boy's side season leader Alec Faldermeyer (Minisink Valley, Slate Hill, NY) improved his personal best to 240'08", a mark that moves him up to seventh on the all-time national list. His throw easily outdistanced the competition by nearly 25 feet. Davis Fraker (McIntosh, Peachtree City, GA) took second place to add to a second place discus finish and shot put win. Enrique Gaitan (Sprayberry, Marietta, GA) of the Throw1Deep club also took third place. Season leader Justin Welch (Eastwood, Pemberville, OH) did not compete at the meet.
